Councils & Public Sector Laser Cleaning

The Public Sector's Specialist Cleaning Method

Public assets require a cleaning method that is both highly effective and appropriate for sensitive, legally protected structures. Chemical solvents risk damaging historic stonework. Pressure washing leaves ghost marks on porous surfaces. Abrasive methods are unsuitable for scheduled monuments and conservation area buildings.

Laser cleaning is recognised by Historic England for cleaning scheduled monuments, Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings and conservation area structures. It is non-contact, non-abrasive and chemically inert. We have worked with parish councils, city councils, housing associations and heritage organisations across Yorkshire. We provide all necessary documentation for public sector procurement, including method statements, risk assessments and evidence of insurance.
